Include any other comments or information you want the Commission to consider in evaluating your compliance with the Children's Television Act (or use this space for supplemental explanations). This may include information on any other noncore educational and informational programming that you aired this quarter or plan to air during the next quarter, or any existing or proposed non-broadcast efforts that will enhance the educational and informational value of such programming to children. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3.

WBXN-CA airs over 150 PSA's per quarter, 60% of those targeting children ages 16 and under. These public service announcements deal with issues such as classroom honesty, youth voter participation, addiction, V-Chip information, autism, gun violence and child literacy. *******NOTE: During this quarter, WBXN-CA aired two episodes weekly of EDGEMONT, on Sundays at 9 and 9:30A. The EDGEMONT contract ended on 8/30/2012. Contracts for replacement programming at 9A and 9:30A -- ELIZABETH STANTON'S GREAT BIG WORLD and LIVE LIFE AND WIN! -- took effect 9/10 and 9/17, respectively. In the interim, WBXN-CA aired two episodes of WHADDYADO at 9A on 9/2 and 9/9 and three episodes of WILD AMERICA on 9/2, 9/9, and 9/16. Both were Core programs that aired throughout the quarter at regularly scheduled times. The fill-in episodes are listed in the report as Non-Core in Question 5. This situation has not occurred previously at WBXN-CA and is not expected to happen again.*******
